Inovonics Ships 1 Millionth Wireless Network Sensor

  • Jul 28, 2010

Inovonics, a provider of high-performance wireless sensor networks for commercial and life safety applications, announced it has shipped its 1 millionth EchoStream wireless network sensor.

Introduced in March 2007, EchoStream is a trusted choice for reliable, high-performance wireless sensor network solutions among partners and end users in the security, life safety and submetering spaces. The company has seen sales of its EchoStream products grow in its target markets as wireless sensors increasingly are replacing wired solutions due to their ease of installation, flexibility and cost savings.

“This is a significant milestone for Inovonics,” said Mark Jarman, president of Inovonics. “A company is only as good as the quality of its products, people and relationships. Shipment of our 1 millionth EchoStream wireless sensor is a tribute not only to our technology, but to our employees, customers and partners. Without their combined concerted efforts, this milestone probably would not have been achieved in this short timeframe.”

EchoStream serves as the backbone of Inovonics’ family of high-performance, proven and reliable wireless sensor network solutions. Self-healing and self-configuring, the EchoStream Commercial Mesh Network provides the robust wireless coverage necessary to operate in the most challenging commercial environments. Multiple applications can run on the same wireless backbone, and virtually any size network can be created reliably and economically. Networks range from a single panic button to thousands of sensors serving sprawling multi-building campuses in security, life safety and submetering marketplaces.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
